Small Pleasures |
Wonderful, witty, beautiful, glorious, miraculous, effortless to read, quietly compelling, stunning, dazzling, a gut punch ending - just some of the quotes on the cover - not to mention it being longlisted for the Women's Prize. The majority of my book group agreed but help! it did absolutely nothing for me. "Quod ali cibus est aliis fuat acre venenum" - as Lucretius remarked or in plain English - one man's meat . . . just proves how subjective reading is.
